What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Kalish’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

In a certain way, in a certain way when you learn Torah, I hope I hope the siyata dishmaya should come out right. In a certain way when you say over divrei Torah, you almost should be telling a story unforced. If you If somebody is learning right, it should almost be a story. What do I What do I mean by that? everything we're learning is like is being is hitting our life. I was like is being is hitting our life. I was zocheh to learn divrei Aaron David in the mirror. Every seder, every time we learned I don't know I can't say this always. I can't say every time that would be exaggerated. But often it was a story was happening. Cuz he would learn some We would learn Aggaius Rabbenu Bachya together. We would learn He's like, "Wait, I have to like I have to do this better and more It would fit into context of his life what he was studying. The I should have been talking to him. been talking to him. And Hashem, you know, Hashem knows us and he's talking to us so it should hit somewhere. So, I find if you ever hear Ari Shishler speak, he's always like telling a story because the Torah is like fitting into the context of his life. So, when he speaks like he gives you like what he was thinking, how it was hitting him, what it was doing to him, and it comes out almost like a story. Do you know what I mean, Yasef?
